When it comes to optimizing endurance training, physiological accuracy matters. <\/span>physiological accuracy matters<\/b>. Many athletes and coaches use NIRS (near infrared spectroscopy) devices, such as the <\/span>Moxy Monitor<\/b> to measure muscle oxygenation during exercise. But here comes the inconvenient fact: <\/span>not all NIRS devices measure the same thing or in the same way.<\/b>.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> The critical difference is <\/span>which fabric you are reading<\/b>:<\/span><\/p>\n Moxy is specifically designed to isolate the muscle signal, filtering out \"noise\" from skin and fat.<\/b>by filtering out the \"noise\" of skin and fat.<\/span><\/p>\n Now you realize why the data from other devices doesn't add up, or changes too fast... or too slow<\/span><\/i>. It's not your body, it's the sensor.<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div> And here is the key point:<\/span> SmO\u2082 in muscle works on a real, physiological scale of.<\/span> 0 % (completely desaturated)<\/b> a <\/span>100 % (fully saturated)<\/b>.<\/span> In contrast, many NIRS devices show minimums of 40-50 %, even in maximum stress tests. This <\/span>it is not a calibration failure, it is that they are measuring a mixed signal.<\/b>. And that makes your data of little use in making real decisions.<\/span><\/p>\nMuscle Oxygenation vs. Tissue Oxygenation - The Key Is in What You Actually Measure <\/b><\/h3>\n

<\/span><\/div>Moxy: The Only One with Published Scientific Validation<\/b><\/h3>\n
\n<\/span> Moxy is the only portable NIRS with clinical, sports and comparative studies published in peer-reviewed scientific journals.<\/span>
\n<\/span> In<\/span> fact, it <\/span>is the one used as a reference to validate other devices and training protocols.<\/p>\n
\n<\/span>You can see for yourself at<\/span> PubMed - more than 60 publications<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\nFull Physiological Range: 0-100 %.<\/b><\/h3>\n
\n<\/span><\/a> With validated protocols, such as an arterial occlusion, Moxy can record real SmO\u2082 drops to 5-10 % and rises to 90 % during hyperemia. That is the physiological reality. <\/span><\/p>\n
